This is my project for the Verve project parade, the them is "Flowers". I have been wanting to make one of these paper wallets, the tutorial is from SCS. Of course I had girly in mind, but wow it really turned out girly with lots of bling. If you have not tried one of these you should, it was super easy to make. I used the very beautiful and elegant flower from the Easter Joyset.
I heat embossed the flowers, cut them out, and added a clear gemstone to the centers. To see the inside head over to theVerve Blogand be sure to leave a comment on the Verve Blog, you could win FREE Verve! The inside shows the sides and the color of pink Bazzil card stock I started with. Once you add a tiny bit of sponging, the versamark, and embossing powder; it did change the color of the paper to a darker pink.
I made a card to match using this weeks mojo sketch, you can see the sketch and all the mojo makers creations at the The Mojo Monday Blog, the sentiment is from the Beautiful Youset.

Good morning, these are the cutest displayed cupcakes, I was drawn to the fun, big flower. This is for today'sCupcake Inspiration Challenge, CIC52. There is so much about these cupcakes to get your inspiration flowing, I hope you play along with us! My card recipe is using the darling paper from Basicgreyand it is called Green At Heart. It is so pretty, the colors are luscious. I used two different punches, I really like the look of the layered borders. The purple layer is using aEK Success border punch and the orange layer is using theFiskars border punch. I used the ProvoCraftArgyle embossing folder on the top portion of my card. I finished my card with ribbon tied with a button and the cute butterflies. I added Stickles to the butterflies for a little glimmer. I used the sketch fromInspirational Card Sketches #59and the glitter challenge atStampin Royalty, SR12. I hope you will play along with us this week, it is always fun to be inspired by yummy cupcakes. Enjoy!

Happy Saturday to you, I have a one layer card I made for the challenge atThere She Goes, TSG47. They are having a new release this weekend and have offered up a few challenges. It is also today'sIC225, I chose the candle here as my inspiration, I was drawn to the adorable pink flower. I used the sketch from Crazy 4 Challenges, C4C30. I also used the cute cookie inspiration photo from CCEE1012. I was drawn to the yummy icing/cream that is ooozing out the sides, hence the reason for the distressing texture on the sides of my card. I hope you have a fun filled weekend planned, be sure to hug someone today and tell them you love them! Enjoy.

I have not been around this week, my dh had to have open heart surgery, he is fine. He had to have a valve repair because of a birth defect. It has been a tiring and stressful week but he has come through the surgery with ease. I will be making lots of thank you cards in the coming days, lots of friends, family, and the hospital staff have been by our side. We have had lots of support and many many prayers going up for us. I will be able to be home with him for several weeks so I hope to get some stamping done during my down times. I will have a blog giveaway Monday, be sure to check back! Enjoy.
